I will draft a startup co founder agreement and strict IP assignment contract
Ironclad legal structures and partnership agreements for serious entrepreneurs
About this Gig
Venture Capitalists will not invest in your startup if your foundational legal documents are weak. If one founder builds the app and leaves, who owns the code? Without an IP Assignment contract, they do.
I draft premium, investor-ready Co-Founder Agreements tailored for high-growth startups. I don't just divide equity; I protect the company itself. My drafting ensures that all intellectual property, code, branding, and trade secrets are legally transferred from the individuals to the corporate entity.
Critical Protections Included:
Intellectual Property (IP) & Invention Assignment
Founder Equity Vesting (e.g., 4-year vesting, 1-year cliff)
Good Leaver / Bad Leaver exit clauses
Decision-making hierarchy and Deadlock resolution
Time/Capital contribution requirements
Secure your Cap Table and your technology from day one. I will provide a bulletproof structural framework that survives intense investor due diligence and keeps your startup moving forward.

FAQ
Why is IP Assignment so important?
By default, the person who creates something (like code or a logo) owns it. IP assignment legally transfers that ownership to the startup.
What happens if a co-founder stops working?
The "Bad Leaver" and Vesting clauses I draft will allow the company to reclaim their unvested equity and remove them from power.
Is this document legally binding?
Yes. Once signed by all founders, this forms a legally binding corporate governance contract.
